Perhaps you think Alice must have been very much pleased, when she had eaten the little cake, to find herself growing so tremendously tall? Because of course it would be easy enough, "now", to reach the little key off the glass table, and to open the little tiny door.
Well, of course she could do "that": but what good was it to get the door open, when she couldn't get "through"? She was worse off than ever, poor thing! She could just manage, by putting her head down, close to the ground, to "look" through with one eye! But that was "all" she could do. No wonder the poor tall child sat down and cried as if her heart would break.
